Wildlife Aid is a UK-based animal rescue organization that cares for sick, injured, and orphaned animals. From rescuing tiny ducklings caught on a busy street, to saving a badger trapped inside a deep hole, Simon and his Wildlife Aid team have seen it all. And in the following video, recently released on YouTube, we see a fox cub that got himself caught up in a real predicament.
Foxes seem to need rescuing from some very strange places. On this particular evening, Simon received a call from a frantic family who received a very unexpected intruder. A young fox had wandered through their door and into the living room. Immediately seeking a safe place to hide, the fox huddled under the sofa. At first, Mom thought it was a stray cat. When she realized just how wrong she was, panic set in, and the idea of sleeping became downright impossible.
Simon found the fox difficult to catch. Since foxes stress easily, he had to make the rescue as gentle as possible.
Once safely contained, it was just a short trip back out to the garden where the young fox was free again to reunite with his family. "That's what we call a rescue-release!" Simon exclaims.
We're so grateful to the wonderful people who act as animal advocates, dedicating their lives to helping these amazing creatures.
